Just then, they encountered a red light.


    Ste braked hard, turned to face him, and asked with aplex expression, “Is that question really important at this moment? Aren’t you the one who wants a divorce? Would it matter to you who I leave with?”


    Matthew’s gaze darkened as he looked at Ste, just about to speak when she cut him off, her voiceced with frustration.


    “When you abandoned me on the dance floor, did you ever think about how everyone would see me?”


    All evening, she had kept her anger in check, but now it surged forth, unrestrained.


    She locked her eyes on his, her words sharp and deliberate.


    “At the auction, when you walked to your seat with Lindsay in your arms, did you remember that we’re still legally bound in marriage? After the event, you left me again to take her away.


    Did my feelings even cross your mind?”


    Matthew’s lips parted slightly, and he reflexively muttered, “Her legs…”


    But the moment the words escaped, he realized how flimsy and inadequate the excuse sounded.


    Ste could only scoff bitterly.


    “If you’re so worried about her, why bothering back at all? As you can see, my legs are just fine, and someone even offered to take me home.


    ”


    Though she spoke with venom, a deep ache pierced through her chest.


    Her words might have stung, but they were nothingpared to the pain Matthew had inflicted on her.


    Hepsed into silence.


    A battle waged inside him-he felt undeniably pulled toward Ste, yet a voice persistently urged him to let her go.


    A N G E L A ‘s L I B R A R Y


    He couldn’t decipher what he truly desired.


    Noticing his wordless response, Ste’s heart sank’ further’ into disappointment.


    Without uttering another word, she pressed the gas pedal as the light turned green, resuming their journey.


    As soon as the car moved forward, Matthew spoke in a grave tone.


    “I promise I’ll do everything I can to recover my memories.

    Her hands tightened around the steering wheel, but she remained quiet.


    Momentster, they reached the hospital.


    Though Ste was still upset, she helped Matthew inside the hospital.


    Cordell, despite not being on duty, arrived to check on Matthew out of concern.


    After a thorough examination, he confirmed that Matthew hadn’t suffered any serious injuries.


    However, Ste’s worry lingered.


    “Are you sure he’s alright?” she asked.


    Cordell smiled reassuringly.


    “Don’t worry.


    He’s fine.


    Just ensure he gets enough rest and avoids overexerting himself.


    ”


    Then, turning to Matthew with a serious look, Cordell added, “One more thing -don’t strain yourself trying to recall everything.


    Let ite back naturally.
